Solar Energy Power Project : Execution Stages

Solar Energy Power Projects using Photo Voltaic (PV) technology is gathering momentum in India due to deeper penetration in understanding
of the Technology, Commercials and supporting Government policies. Of course improved
affordability due to fall in PV module costs is another major factor fueling
the momentum. In fact as observed earlier - PV Solar Power has the potential to exceed Wind Power in terms of generation.

Industrial
plants and Commercial Facilities opt for PV Solar Project due to several reasons. The most significant
ones include –

Ever-increasing price of grid power (anything above INR 5.0 per kWh for grid power can be considered expensive)

PV Solar Power Project execution consists of various stages as depicted below

Solar Energy Power Project : Execution Stages

The
Pre-Project Stage consists of site visit by a Solar Expert for Site Survey + Analysis +
Techno-Commercial Viability Report Preparation. It is the most important
stage of a PV Solar project as it enables one to understand complete
Techno-Commercials of the Project primarily the RoI and IRR calculations which form the basis of the investment decisions.

We also include Solar Energy Training as part of this first stage which enables one to get answers to various queries such as :

Is my plant
suitably located to generate Solar Power?

What capacity
installation is possible at my site?

Are there any
technical challenges in PV Solar project execution at my site?

What are the
major technical components in the project and what is their life?

How many units
(kWh) per day, per month, per year can I expect from PV Solar?

What are
various technologies and what is the most suitable technology for my site in
terms of output and durability?

What are the
short, medium and long-term REC (Renewable Energy Certificate) benefits?

What kind of
loads can Solar support in my plant and what part of such load should I focus
on for PV Solar?

Will these
projects be grid-synchronized or will these projects require batteries?

And More....

Several such questions are answered through our onsite discussions with your team and also in our Detailed Techno-Commercial Viability Report submitted at the end of Pre-Project stage. This Report forms the basis of an informed decision and is thus no wonder that several leading Industrial Plants are opting for PV Solar Power Project beginning with the first step of Pre-Project assessment. In consecutive posts we will update the information about the next stages.

If your
plant or commercial site is paying anything above INR 5.0 per kWh for power it
makes tremendous sense to opt for PV Solar power for at least a part of your
requirement.Enerco
